The best way to nurture a relationship is to make our better half feel loved and appreciated always and I believe sweet gestures can help nourish a relationship.

So for today’s theme which is sweet gestures of couples… let me tell you some gestures that we do to each other.

If hubby is not sweet then I must be his opposite or else our relationship won’t last till now hehehe. So let me start by giving him a massage every time we are watching a television in the living room, prepare his favorite milk with Milo before sleeping, give him little kisses and a tight hugs before he closes his eyes. Wake him up every morning if he’s working on a day shift then prepare his breakfast and pack lunch. His dinner is always ready even before he gets home from work. If he’s working on a 2nd and 3rd I wake him up with a call from work.

‘Bout my hubby’s sweet gestures towards me? Love it when he give me water every time we eat (I always forget to prepare water during meal time). He would always kiss me goodbye before he leaves to work even if we just had a fight last night or few hours back. He would hug me tight and kiss me on my forehead when we’re watching a television in our room.

Well, isn’t it really sweet to make our hubby feel that they are really loved with our simple yet sweet gestures?

Sacrifice! I don’t know what to share…I’m not in the mood to write since last week but for the sake of today’s meme let me tell you guys some stories that entail sacrifices.

Like what I’ve been sharing here at couple’s corner our relationship before we got married was already full of sacrifices. We bear being away from each other for years just to pursue my studies in college and it was really a hard time for both of us. It does not end there! A week after getting married I flew to Dubai and that was the hardest decision and the biggest sacrifice we had…hubby allowing me to leave and work abroad so that I can support my family. Thanks to the technology that brought us closer even if we’re far away from each other.

I guess sacrifice for our love ones doesn’t end on big matters only coz every day is a chance to do a little sacrifice for them. When hubby came to Dubai 2 years back I’ve learned to stay at home and forget my ballroom class, short course studies, religious group and being an outgoing person. All the things that I have to do should have his approval and when he said no…means sacrifice for me because I have to set aside my own happiness and to look after on what makes him happy.

If there’s something that gets me excited every week….that is because of Couples Corner and Girls Talk. Thanks to the Authors of this meme’s ….they make my Wednesday and Thursday busy hehehe..

Well for today’s topic which is bedtime habits………before hubby and I sleep on a separate sides we often watch a television while kissing, hugging and teasing each other. For me bedtime is the best time we can talk about anything that happens in a day, it is when we settle misunderstandings and make up for the lost days that we didn’t spend the night together (because either he’s working on a 2nd or 3rd shift).

Hubby being a warm blooded person sleeps with his shorts and sleeveless shirt while I always wear pajamas or jogging pants, socks, and long sleeves ….AC is working 24 hours everyday in our flat and i have an overly sensitive skin…too much cold usually makes my whole body itch leaving a rashes which will last for a mins….so most of the time I wear pajamas at home even If I’m in the kitchen. I can only wear regular hourse dress when AC is off..

Cuddling is a way for people to express affection physically. Kids cuddle up to their parents, couples cuddle amorously, and friends cuddle, too

Hubby is not a PDA type and as what I have been sharing here at Couple’s Corner, he even hates holding hands in public. If we do have some photos showing PDA or cuddling in public it is for the purpose of picture only. We do love to cuddle but we should be inside our room if we wanted to.

We cuddle:

• While watching a television
• While simply talking about our future plans, our dreams and sharing our daily work experiences.
• If we want to make up with each other
• Few minutes before we sleep (I can’t sleep while our hands are wrap into each other, so it will just take a minute hehehe)
• After an awesome lovemaking.
• Anytime we want to for as long as we are in our room.

Cuddling is really important; it makes us feel more secure in a relationship. Couples’s who cuddle regularly and spontaneously not only have stronger romantic relationship, they also have lower level of personal stress. It is also a way to bond and re-establish chemistry with our partners after a fight or after spending much time apart. Cuddling is a very tender and intimate way of connection with our partner.

Honesty is by far one of the most crucial aspects of a relationship. Many couples suffer from the deception of not being honest with each other. I remember during the first 2 years of our relationship as lovers I was advised by a friend not to tell everything to hubby like the late night school activities or weekend gate away with friends. They even told me that those things which I think would cause some future arguments should be kept within me and it’s not being dishonest because in every relationship we need to leave something for ourselves. But since we promised that we will be honest to each other from all the things that we’ll be doing…… so anything I do I made it sure to tell him.

So having a long distance relationship for a years, honesty help us build trust and a strong relationship though sometimes being too honest had cause us problems also.

Now if there’s one thing we can’t talk about with each other that would be family matters. Anything that concerns our own families is handled on our own. We don’t talk about exes’ coz we don’t have exes’ instead hubby would talk about my friends whom he thought I dated some of them which I will always honestly tell him that I have never dated anyone except him.

We frankly tell to each other na ang pangit mo!!! …that I don’t like what he’s wearing or that he doesn’t like my make up. And that he would straightly say on my face that the lady we saw at the supermarket is so sexy and yummy…or I can giggle right in front of him everytime I saw Piolo on TV while saying "ang guapo guapo tlga ni Papa Piolo."

That's all for this time...see you guys next topic at Couple's Corner
